Died:
EDUCATED GUESS: I am guessing that this is the infant George Knuth who is buried at Concordia & that the next son was also named George (giving the next child the same name as one who died was common in European families at this time.)

Other Events:

Notes:

Birth:
1900 census gives birth as Dec 1895 which is impossible since a son was born 7 Jul 1895 to the parents; thus I am assuming that this son was born Dec 1896 and not 1895
